Yields: 1 loaf

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 45-55 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 large ripe bananas, sliced
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
• 1 cup oatmeal flour
• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup grated carrots

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan.
2. In a blender, blend together the mashed bananas, egg, applesauce, and oil.
3. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a separate bowl.
4. Gradually add the dry and wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Stir in the grated carrots.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
7. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips for Adapting the Recipe:

• For younger babies (6-12 months):
  • Use well-cooked, mashed carrots instead of grated carrots.
  • Consider omitting the cinnamon or using a very small amount.
  • Cut the loaf into small, bite-sized pieces.
  • without seasoning
• For older babies and toddlers:
  • You can add chopped nuts or seeds (such as walnuts, pecans, or sunflower seeds) to the batter.
  • Consider adding raisins or chopped dried apricots for extra sweetness and nutrients.
  • Top with a simple cream cheese frosting (made with cream cheese, powdered sugar, and a touch of milk or plant-based milk) for a special treat.
• Dietary considerations:
  • Dairy-free: Use melted vegan butter or oil instead of regular butter.
  • Egg-free: Substitute the egg with 1/4 cup mashed ripe banana or 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water.
  • Gluten-free: Use a 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend instead of the used ones
  • Nut-free: Omit nuts and seeds.

Storage:

• Store the cooled loaf in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• For longer storage, freeze the loaf in slices in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
